Re: [sqlite] Building sqlite 3.2.8 on redhat 9 (off list)
The precompiled version did work. I was just trying to compile it myself to get experience building a linux box.

Well, if all else fails, try it with a small script that you can put in a directory within your path: --- # Run command-line utility sqlite3 # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/your/install/dir/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=/your/install/dir/bin:$PATH sqlite3 --- (Store this in a convenient file like "mysqlite" and use: chmod +x mysqlite to make it executable) The environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH are changed locally. So as soon as you leave the utility and thus the script, you go back to the original environment. Regards, Arjen

Thanks Kimball Your right about having a little experience. I am just running into error after error installing apps, but I'm learnoing slowly. Anyway, I was trying to install the sqlite support for another application I want to use and as a side issue it seems to have installed sqlite 3.2.8 correctly for me. It would be good if I could type sqlite3 at the prompt and it would just start.

Please bear with me I am a linux newbie. Hello Lloyd, my reply may be a bit too detailed, but I assume you have very little experience with Linux/UNIX. So bare with me if the explanations are too basic. What about /usr/local/lib? That is the usual place for packages/libraries that are not part of the operating system. You can print the current setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH by typing: echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH on the prompt. It is a list of directories that the loader/linker will look at in search of shared objects. The sqlite3 library must be contained in any of these. If you find it in a different directory not listed there, you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/your/new/directory:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH or: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /your/new/directory:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Presumably the first, the second form is specific to the C-shell, and you probably have "bash".) What directory (the prefix option) did you use for installing SQLite? That is the directory where the library will live in (or in the subdirectory "lib" of that directory). Hope this helps.
